Sharene Temple was referred to me and came highly recommended as ‘The Apartment Expert’! To say the least, I was definitely not disappointed! After meeting with Sharene, I was more than impressed with her charismatic and professional approach to Real Estate. Her experience is extensive and her ability to deliver above and beyond is a real market advantage in a very competitive industry. Sharene’s honesty and integrity, along with her and ‘can do’ attitude, leaving no stone unturned, was truly a breath of fresh air. Her communication between all parties was very impressive at every step of the way, giving every detail her personal attention. I would not hesitate to recommend Sharene, and I would engage her again in a heartbeat!

From our first meeting to discuss and plan the sale, I found Sharene to be highly organised in all matters with an exceptional internet profile. Sharene's ability to market & sell my commercial properties and businesses across two separate towns as one package, was a huge undertaking. Sharene achieved the sale and exceeded my expectations. Her drive, determination and commitment were phenomenal. Her correspondence and regularity in keeping in touch and keeping me updated played an important part in how she continuously drove the sale forward to completion. Sharene demonstrated a strong understanding of the properties, business operations and current market. I found her communication to always be courteous and respectful. Due to Sharene's proven real estate skills, experience and professionalism, along with her friendly caring and exceptional personality, I would strongly recommend her to anyone that has the needs of a professional real estate person. Hence, I have recommended Sharene already.

Our apartment sales experience with Sharene Temple! Right from our initial phone call to ask if we could discuss possibly selling our apartment with Sharene, our whole experience was fabulous! Sharene carried out the complete process with utmost professionalism, taking every care and consideration for ourselves and our property. The photo shoot was a breeze due to Sharene being present and assisting the photographer to gain the best from our property. Resulting in a stunning presentation for all advertising mediums and attracting many interested open home attendees. At all times with the negotiations between the purchaser and ourselves, Sharene discussed and listened with complete professionalism, guiding us to reach a wonderful sales result. The complete process from signing the agreement to list, photo shoot, open homes, becoming unconditional, selling, then moving (despite not having yet purchased) took 3-4 weeks! An incredibly swift time frame yet as we were committed sellers we relished the challenge and Sharene was right there with us every step of the way ensuring a smooth journey. We confidently refer Sharene to anyone who is wishing to sell a property without a moment's hesitation as we know they will be so well cared for, be it a leasehold property, apartment, unit, house or hotel which is to be sold!!! Thank you Sharene, you are a property sales Angel!

Sharene Temple was the agent that helped me purchase my apartment at the Sebel Hotel. I found her services outstanding, with attention to detail, prompt responses to phone calls, text messages and emails and a fantastic personality to help make the stressful process cheerful. She kept me informed throughout the process and also had a great follow up post sale going the “extra mile” to help me. Her knowledge of the apartment industry was excellent and Sharene was able to answer any of my questions relating to the sale and purchase as well as questions relating to the actual building itself. Having purchased a number of houses and buildings over the last 15 years, I found Sharene to be at the top of her game and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone interested in purchasing an apartment.

Sharene Temple of New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty acted on our behalf as sole agent for the sale of ten apartments that we owned in the Viaduct Harbour of Auckland City. On Sharene's advice, we structured the marketing of those units over a 14 month period, which lead to the successful sale of all those apartments over that time. Her in-depth knowledge of the property market proved invaluable, advice that I valued immensely and for which I am extremely grateful. I would have no hesitation in referring to Sharene to others and would describe her to them as being honest, reliable, easy to understand and someone that does not place undue pressure on you, she listens to what you have to say about your circumstances, analyses that, then provides advice and recommendations to suit. We will continue to utilise Sharene's services when the need arises in the future.

Conducted a real estate purchase transaction where Sharene Temple from Sotheby's was the selling Realtor. Sharene's response to my initial enquiry was prompt, courteous, and informative. She then followed up my initial enquiry after a few days to see if I was interested in pursuing the purchase. After that, we had several exchanges involving questions about the property. For each of my questions, Sharene replied very quickly and completely, and was always professional and courteous. She also offered useful information that I had not thought to ask about. When I decided to make an offer on the property, Sharene was very good in helping me understand the process required and facilitating that process. Although she was clearly representing the vendor well, at no time did I feel that she was trying to be "tricky" or overly "pushy", as many estate agents tend to be. As a buyer, this made me feel more disposed towards working with her to find a mutually agreeable price than I have felt with other agents. Post sale, Sharene continued to help me to facilitate the process of renting the property. To me, this illustrates her understanding of good customer service, and the importance of connections and contacts. To illustrate the difference, at the same time I was looking at a similar property through another agent. I had to resend my initial enquiry twice before getting a limited response. I then asked further questions and got only partially complete responses. After those exchanges I didn't look at that property further because it was too difficult, even though I would have happily purchased it. The property through Sharene came on the market about a month later. Most importantly, I was never contacted again by the other agent, and haven't been now, over three months later. That property has not sold yet. In my view, Sharene provided excellent communication and customer service to me as the buyer in our transaction. I believe that is critical to achieving an optimum sale result. Because of that I wouldn't hesitate to list a property to sell through her.
